Ubuntu 21-04 has got All Wrong

As anticipated Ubuntu destroyed my GRUB boot menu, even though it was installed in a USB stick.

Luckily I did not try it on the Hard Disk.

Had I done that I have to redo all installation afresh.

I made an ESP partition but it did not mount.

In good old days if you boot a Live Linux Distribution, one can make a bootable USB.
I tried start up USB and it failed to recognized the formatted USB.

Ubuntu let you make a startup disk but that utility does not work..

My guy feeling was it will not boot with the UEFI interference?

With the introduction of UEFI by coercion of Microsoft the BIOS magic was lost.

I have found a way to bypass this ploy.

I make bootable  ESP partition.

I have never made a ESP on a 16 GB USB.

Let us see how it works.

It is not my nature to write about Ubuntu.

I use Debian as my workhorse.

Ubuntu is actually Debian based.

For fun I try Puppy Linux.

For critical testing I use Knoppix.

I just installed Knoppix on a USB stick using MultiSystem.

Knoppix also can do it on it's own but MultiSystem let you have several distribution in one USB stick.

I have collected large number of USB sticks and over the past two decades and they still work after erasing  data.

With 64 bits in vogue keeping them idling is not my intention.

Nothing else to do I just booted Ununtu 21-04 to install it but last half an hour it is trying to figure out what is in my Laptop and failed.

I tried live booting and that also failed.

To save my data I disconnect my Internet while installing.

I think and believe Ubuntu cannot mount a live session without Internet.

How can one see what is in it?

How can one we enjoy a live session?

This is why I recommend Emmabantus Debian 4.

It is actually Debian 11 derivative and has enormous amount of applications.

I will stop Ubuntu and install Emmabantus on my spare USB.

Well after nearly 45 minutes it booted live.

I will try to install it on a USB.

This time I will make a bootable ESP partition.

My PC on WiFi Mode

I had some problem connecting my PC to Internet once I pulled out the Ethernet Wire.

It is a Linux box and NO Windows.

I was running Debian 9 for the last 4 years and I did not want to lose my data by installing Debian 10.

However, I decided to install Debian 10.10 without touching my home partition.

It's primary partition is 125 SSD and 100 reserved for the operating system.

I do not use it daily but run the Laptop for my heavy work.

Today I stuck the Dongle and Debian 10.10 detected it effortlessly.

I have depleted Data by downloading Linux images through the WiFi Broadband and I think when I upload some data and I stick the Ethernet wire, it probably will connect to the Internet.

I am.getting stingy on Data.
